BlueDragon Blog
Here you'll find tips and information about making the most of BlueDragon, which offers several compelling implementation alternatives for your CFML applications. This blog was created originally by Charlie Arehart, who was New Atlanta CTO from 2003-2006.,He has since moved on to become an independent consultant but continues to answer comments raised in existing blog entries. BlueDragon continues, and you should look to the newer BlueDragon blog, from New Atlanta president, Vince Bonfanti, for more updated information.

Deploy your web app on both J2EE and .NET, from a single codebase!

If you're a developer of commercial (or even in-house) web apps, and you're feeling the need to deploy them on both J2EE and .NET, what can you do? If you're a CFML developer, you're in luck. BlueDragon makes CFML the only web application development language that can deploy on both these standard platforms.

With BlueDragon/J2EE, you can deploy your CFML as a standard J2EE web app (or WAR file), something that's planned for the future version of CF (Blackstone), but that BlueDragon has done for a couple of years.

With BlueDragon/.NET (formally known as BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework), you can deploy your CFML as a standard .NET web application. BlueDragon extends the .NET framework so that it knows how to process CFML files, using the same engine that's underlied our Java editions.

In both cases, the CFML remains CFML, just redeployed--NOT re-engineered!

For more on deploying CFML on J2EE, see the June 2004 CFDJ article, "CFML on J2EE: Easy as 1-2-3", available like all our articles on the "editorials" page of the BlueDragon web site. For more on deploying CFML on .NET (and also on J2EE), see our documentation also available online at the site.
